    That's a big IF at this point. The rate at which galaxies, are moving away away from each other is still accelerating so maybe all atoms will eventually just get stretched apart. But who knows whether travel between universes could be achieved by then? It would be great to live that long in order to satisfy my curiosity as to the nature of things but I think i'd prefer to sleep through most of it and then woken up once those discoveries have been made. To actually be awake, day after day for millions of years would probably make a person crazy seeing as we're not meant to live anything like that long.

    I watched a doc recently that shows the expansion is slowing and now the theory is that eventually it will contract, and that in fact the big bang is a repetitive process that's happened many times before and this is the never ending cycle of the universe.

    The only real constant being that Manchester United F.C. remain the greatest football club in every universe.

    No mate. There is a parallel universe in which Saints win the CL three or four times a decade, while Utd are **** all <ok>

    You may be referring to quantum theory there Archers. You know what they say about that don't you, if you understand it, it will scare you. I think that would apply to your Saints proposition <yikes>

    Could be. The writer Charles Bukowski is another example of alcoholic longevity. His last collection of poems and stories was entitled “Septegenarian Stew”. Didn’t work out so well for Scott Fitgerald though, or his buddy Ernest Hemingway.

    Meanwhile, William Boroughs was convinced that heroin had life prolonging qualities, arguing that it was the only impurities in street drugs that accounted for most addicts short life expectancy. Think he was in his eighties and fairy active when he died.

    Weren't Man Utd once in the old division two, I bet that was the time of which you speak, where the universe contracted and past clones of Matth created another big bang <whistle>

    Up until the 2nd world war they played regularly in the 2nd division. Then they were relegated back down there about the time we beat Leeds in the FA Cup (73)

    So the Nazis kick started Man United into life with their major disruption of English football. Without Hitlers men, Man Utd would probably have a completely different history.

    I know you like to write in cryptic mate, so I'm probably reading this one completely wrong, but my enigma machine deciphers that as you suggesting United fans are Hitler's Youth, shocking mate, just shocking.

    Matth has never created a bang in his life mate. Unless you include the mess he makes in his hand when Delia appears in the crowd for a Norwich game.
